About this property
Overview
Four-bedroom apartment with beachfront position in Málaga, Costa del Sol. This seventh-floor residence at Octavia places you directly on Playa de la Misericordia, where the living room terrace frames uninterrupted sea views across 21 square metres of outdoor space.
The 167-square-metre layout centres on an open-plan kitchen fitted with Miele appliances that connects to the main living area, both opening onto the sea-facing terrace. Four bedrooms include fitted wardrobes throughout, supported by three full bathrooms and a separate laundry room. A second terrace extends the outdoor footprint, whilst the single-storey configuration removes internal stairs. The apartment includes one parking space and access to the complex pool, gym and beachfront gardens. Completion is scheduled for 2026.
Octavia sits on the sand at Playa de la Misericordia, positioned between the city's expanding university district and the western beaches. Málaga Airport lies 10 minutes away by car, with the same journey time to the historic centre's cathedral quarter and Calle Larios. The beachfront promenade connects directly to neighbouring beach clubs and the Guadalmar golf course 2 kilometres west.

9 questions answered
Buying this apartment in Málaga
Can foreigners buy property in Málaga?
Yes. Spain places no restrictions on foreign buyers, EU and non-EU citizens can purchase freely in Málaga. You will need a Spanish NIE (foreigner tax number) before signing the title deed, plus a Spanish bank account for the transfer. The full purchase typically completes 6 to 10 weeks from signing the reservation contract.
What is an NIE and how do I get one?
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your Spanish tax ID and is mandatory for buying property, opening a bank account or paying taxes. You can apply at a Spanish consulate in your home country or in person in Spain. Your lawyer can also obtain it on your behalf with a power of attorney, typically 2 to 4 weeks.
Do I need a Spanish lawyer?
Strongly recommended. An independent lawyer (abogado), separate from the agent and seller, verifies title, checks for debts and planning issues, drafts contracts and represents you at the notary. Typical fee is 1% of the purchase price plus VAT, with a minimum around €1,500.
How long does completion take?
From accepted offer to keys: 6 to 10 weeks for a resale, 30 to 45 days from reservation if no mortgage is needed. New-build off-plan completes when the development is delivered, often 18 to 36 months after reservation, with staged payments along the way.
What taxes will I pay buying a property in Málaga?
Resale property in Andalucía: ITP (transfer tax) at 7%. New-build: 10% IVA + 1.2% AJD (stamp duty). Plus notary, land registry and legal fees of roughly 1 to 2%. Budget 10 to 13% on top of the asking price for total acquisition costs.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
Annual IBI (council tax) is typically 0.4 to 1.1% of cadastral value. Community fees on apartments and gated villas range €100 to €600/month depending on amenities. Non-resident owners pay an annual income tax based on cadastral value, plus utilities and home insurance.
Are agent fees paid by the buyer or seller?
In Spain the seller pays the agent commission (typically 3 to 6% + VAT), already baked into the asking price. Buyers do not pay agent fees on resale or new-build.
Can non-residents get a Spanish mortgage?
Yes. Spanish banks lend to non-residents at typical LTVs of 60 to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation (vs 80% for residents). Rates are competitive with the rest of the eurozone. You will need 6 months of bank statements, tax returns and proof of income, pre-approval takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Should I get pre-approval before viewing?
Recommended for serious buyers. A mortgage in principle confirms your budget, signals credibility to sellers and shortens completion. We can introduce you to specialist non-resident mortgage brokers familiar with the local market.
